Yes, gals, you read that right. Something you thought was only for men in their 60s or Bob Dole is now being credited with helping a British woman get pregnant. A new fertility protocol tried by a reproductive clinic in England includes giving Viagra to women going through IVF - and guess what? It has actually worked.
Erectile dysfunction can be a fertility inhibitor in and of itself, but this time, the treatment for the condition is being giving to women. The basis for the drugs is to open blood vessels and increase the blood flow to the penis. So, the same premise is apparently what's happening for women. An increase flow of blood to the uterus increases the lining of the uterus enabling embryos to dig in and stay put.
The women mentioned in the article from the Huddersfield Daily Examiner gave birth to a baby girl in December.
The article stresses that the drug was used in conjunction with other fertility drugs and not to buy so-called Viagra or other ED drugs off the internet and try this at home on your one. Besides, as a public service announcement, you should NEVER buy any drugs off the internet - they're usually not real and can actually be quite harmful.
In any case, it's good to hear about another potential option for infertile women. Who knew we'd say viva Viagra so soon?
i tried viagra several years ago as the last ditch lets see if this worked for me, and while it may help some it for sure does not do anything if your uterus is toast like mine was.
